played through and I am ready to give my final evaluation. the sense of discovery is wonderful. Now if only we didn't have such large rules accumulation because of that discovery. The ambition of this game is that you won’t have the same priorities or pace/ark in a game. Every action on the action card that you have built through the game is used in the last month, but how you evaluate the actions, and your resources, fundamentally change. And so I very much argue that this game should NOT be played real time. When you spend a month away from a game, you rely on more vague memories of the rules. When you take a year to play, you look for the similarities more, instead of just embracing the changes as they come. I will absolutely buy season 3 when it comes. but this was definitely a step back from the mastery of season 1. Or at least my experience of trying to play it in real time was a mistake compared to the “binge” play I did on season 1

Probably a better game than PL season 1, but the "legacy" phenomenon regarding Pandemic wore off for me a bit in Season 2, which is the reason for the slightly lower rating. PL2 produced some widely varied experiences according to reviews and playthroughs that I read, plus my 3 attempts, with different groups, were all unique. Some people found the game depressingly difficult while others breezed. I thought the game was more challenging than PL1 and it required a more coordinated and well-thought-out plan of action in order to succeed. That is what I liked about this game over Season 1, the moments where my team and I poured over the situation and really was able to put our heads together to solve the current problem. PL 1 was a lighter game. Nonetheless, both are excellent and I certainly will grab Season 3 when it is released.

So far, it's pressing all the right buttons the first did: cleverness, unpredictability, excitement, and mystery. (I'm sure heartbreak will come too!) Final comments after completing: maybe not as good as Season 1, but still quite entertaining. Definitely harder, more complex. You have to count all the cards to even have half a chance!
